Popular culture dominates our lives and deserves serious study. During the 2025-26 academic year, the Center for the Humanities is delighted to present “The Humanities and Popular Culture\/Counterculture.” This yearlong series of lectures and events — on topics ranging from marching band music to basketball to Taylor Swift — will explore some of these fascinating and important intersections. Have fun and learn at the same time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
